The aim of this studio-based course is to give an introduction to urban planning and design strategies, and establish a broad understanding of the complex economic, political, social, environmental and physical forces that influence urban growth and development. The course will give participants an insight into the social, cultural and political implications of urban transformation, as well as provide training in analysing, describing and responding architecturally to urban spaces as a physical entity.
